What was your first coding project (no-code counts)?

What was your first project and how did you get started? Curious how makers get started in their journey and learn the skills they need to create something. Any advice for makers who have an idea but don't know where to start in the building journey?

Phase Invaders! with Microsoft VBA. You know how it is when you don't know what you don't know, right? I wanted to make a game and I had Excel, so I just tried to do it there, not knowing that that was actually more complicated than some other platform. It worked, sort of. Definitely a good learning experience. I'm definitely still an amateur. I finally got started in coding when my technical cofounder quit.

My first "serious" coding project was a platform game for mobile. I was using C++ and cocos2dx. My second one was a SEO tool that helped you find keywords based on your competitors. This was developed in C#, html, javascript and microsoft sql. Unfortunately none of these two projects launched. Both remained experiments but helped me learn a lot of stuff. I had though a technical background as I studied informatics. If you have an Idea and don't know where to start my advice is to break it into very small pieces and try to find solutions for each one. Also it is really helpful to share your idea and get help from others. A couple of friends of mine helped me a lot during this process and I am very thankful.

One of my first project was a edutainment game written in C++. When I was in high school my friends were struggling to understand basic computer skills like creating files and folder. I wrote a program to give them a challenge where they have to perform a task, once they complete I reward them with tips and tricks. I compiled a list of basic skills that they require to pass the exam and I packaged them into a game. You can take a look at my work in my old blog. https://algocrafts.blogspot.com/...
